2 (two) is a number, numeral and digit. It is the natural number following 1 and preceding 3. It is the smallest and the only even prime number.
Because it forms the basis of a duality, it has religious and spiritual significance in many cultures.
Wood is a structural tissue/material found as xylem in the stems and roots of trees and other woody plants. It is an organic material – a natural composite of cellulosic fibers that are strong in tension and embedded in a matrix of lignin that resists compression. Wood is sometimes defined as only the secondary xylem in the stems of trees, or more broadly to include the same type of tissue elsewhere, such as in the roots of trees or shrubs. In a living tree, it performs a mechanical-support function, enabling woody plants to grow large or to stand up by themselves. It also conveys water and nutrients among the leaves, other growing tissues, and the roots. Wood may also refer to other plant materials with comparable properties, and to material engineered from wood, woodchips, or fibers.
Wood has been used for thousands of years for fuel, as a construction material, for making tools and weapons, furniture and paper. More recently it emerged as a feedstock for the production of purified cellulose and its derivatives, such as cellophane and cellulose acetate.
As of 2020, the growing stock of forests worldwide was about 557 billion cubic meters. As an abundant, carbon-neutral renewable resource, woody materials have been of intense interest as a source of renewable energy. In 2008, approximately 3.97 billion cubic meters of wood were harvested. Dominant uses were for furniture and building construction.
Wood is scientifically studied and researched through the discipline of wood science, which was initiated since the beginning of the 20th century.

If you make one purchase from Blinds Galore, you will be hooked on them for life. Their products are top class and the employees are polite and patient in helping you. They will amaze you with their knowledge and will stay with you until you completely understand every detail of your installation. This company is a rare jewel in our economy today. I don’t understand how they can supply the same top quality blinds you get at retail stores while giving such reduced prices! But that’s OK with me, I’ll just take the savings and keep on ordering from them.

My wife looked for many months for blinds small enough for our bath. She finally found them on your website! I was surprised at the low prices and the ease of ordering an unusual size. After receiving the order I was again surprised at the quality of the blinds. Thank you and keep up the good work!

I have purchased custom window treatments many times in the past and paid a lot of money for them. This is the first time I ordered from Blinds Galore and couldn’t be happier. I had them custom made to fit my kitchen window which is a series of three windows together. I had all three sections put on one rail. They fit perfectly and look great! A tremendous value for the price! I will shop Blinds Galore again without a doubt!

These are really great for the price I paid. I could not be happier. The blinds are packed well when they arrive and look beautiful.

I have an historic house with original windows and these blinds complement the home’s style.

This was super easy and the quality is excellent. I heard about Blindsgalore on The Adam Carolla podcast and gave it a try. I’m glad I did. I have ordered samples already for my next window.

After having 2 different companies come to our home, we were frustrated by the prices they gave us. We had received a few e-mails from Blindsgalore and decided to try them. We first ordered mini-blinds that were here in a week so we ordered some wood alternative blinds. Quality is excellent. We don’t know about their customer service because we have not had to use them. The whole process is seamless and so easy! We are moving soon and will be ordering more blinds! We would definitely recommend Blindsgalore!
